Thanks for your feedback, Daniel! Yes, Image Markup Tool is a very helpful tool; I use it too in another unrelated project, to prepare interactive archtectural plans of romasnesque churches associates with a photo gallery, and it works like a charm. Since the source annotation file is in TEI XML format, IMT is very flexible, and with a good XSL one can make pretty much anything of it.

Thanks! This is a great exercise

I was not even aware that Image Markup can be this helpful

...

Dear list, Last week, I presented to you a website (http://paleographie.castellanie.net) with some palaeography exercises created with a customized version of Image Markup Tool. I have now made the sources for this customization available, and they can be freely downloaded from the Image Markup Tool website, under "Paleography":

Thanks for this precious feedback Roberto! I've updated the online exercises accordingly, although rather than adding an "Instructions" zone tha could prove quite long, I've simply put a link to the detailed help files (in French and English). I hope it will improve the users' experience :) Cheers, Marjorie

Thanks a lot, Marjorie, this is a great resource for those of us who are teaching paleography.

A couple of notes about the current version of the web site:

• you may want to make it clear that to get rid of an enlarged word you

just have to click on it once; at the present moment if I let the mouse hover over it the tooltip says "clic ici pour fermer" which is misleading;

• to this end, I would create an "Instructions" section just below the

"Introduction" one, where I'd put the text currently among round brackets under "Transcription: etc.";

• it is not immediately clear that the "Rubrique" and "Ligne n" headings

in the "Solution" section are expandable, although the mouse cursor correctly changes to a 'hand'; perhaps an expansion sign, like a triangle, could be put aside them; but mentioning this in the "Instructions" section should be more than enough;

• in the librate page you may want to separate the link about the

erasures in two separate links, as they currently overlap each other.

Thanks again for your efforts!
